The present invention relates to removable slip covers for seats, particularly those designed for service in passenger carrying vehicles.

An object of the invention is a removable slip cover for a seat of the above character which may he readily applied to or removed therefrom. In order that the manufacture and assembly of this particular portion of the vehicle may be expedited, thev seat vconstruction proper is formed With a base of the desired type and pressed metal form fitting backs. These backs are easily made and shaped and are provided with snap fastening elements en abling the upholstered cover to be applied readily.

A further object of the invention is to provide an upholstered slip cover which can be securely fastened to the seat frame and back and is readily removable therefrom as Well as being fully as comfortable as the usual upholstered seat. Further objects will appear as the invention is described more fully and reference will now be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a perspective rear view of a `double seat frame provided with an upholstered slip cover in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 1s a perspective frontvievv of the seat shown in Figure 1, showing the manner in which the upholstered slip cover is secured at the front.

.Figure 3 is a view in section, taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2. Y

Referring to the above drawings, a designates a base provided with smtable supporting pedestals a at either side thereof. In the form shown, this base is of a type i capable of carrying a double seat, and the 4usual 'side Walls a2 for receiving the seat cushion are provided. Housings a3 are carried by the side walls a2 and provide a yielding lnonmetallic connection between to provi de the side walls and thevbase a.Av Since this forms no part of the present invention further description of this connection is deemed unnecessary. l

Pressed metal form tting backs b are carried by the side walls a2 and are shaped to provide the4 desiredrest for the yoccupant of the seat. On the rear of these backs, snap fastening-elements are provided and serve to anchor the slip cover to the seat as described hereinafter'.

Upon the backs, a slip cover c is mounted, it bei-ng provided with snap fastening elements c at the lower extremity of the front side thereof for securing the slip cover t0 the front of the backs. At the rear an up-l per flap c2 is provided for receiving the upper extremities ofthe backs.

A removable cushion d for the seat is provided as shown in Figures 1 and 3. By means of the above described construction, the upholstering of the seat is rendered an operation entirely separate anddistinct from the actual construction of the frame. ter is installed as a unit upon the vehicle and the upholstery, having been previously made, is applied to the seat frames with no more trouble than the cleaning thereof.
